Boost For Lemmy
Community of the Android app Boost for Lemmy
It's great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:
-
error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.
-
can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.
What can i/we do?
Wondering if you plan to add swipe left from the right side of the phone to go back to the last/prior comment page
When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90โฐ counter-clockwise.
This has been a very good idea!
So far it feels solid to me. Thanks so much for your hard work
I also can't seem to press and hold on taps for images when in the full-exapanded screen
Bug/Issue Report:
Been noticing a couple minor things over the past couple days.
-
When clicking the tray notification for messages, it sends me to the mentions part of my inbox not the unread part.
-
Refreshing a profile, or inbox, is inconsistent. Often I need to pull down multiple times for it to update and even then sometimes the update is still older than what's current, requiring more pulls. For a profile this can mean not showing current posts or posts with incorrect comment/score. For inbox this means disappearing messages or not knowing you've got a new one.
-
Speaking of inbox, if I mark a message as read it'll stop any notifications or badge counting. However the message will still occasionally "light up" like it's unread. Doesn't reactivate any notifications, and the app seems to know it's not really new, but it does happen.
Feedback:
- I'm guessing this will be added later, but at the moment you can't edit titles of posts with the app. If I click edit it just says mark nsfw or delete.
Otherwise I love the app like I loved old boost. The only other thing would be themes but that isn't even remotely important this early in development.
Not sure if it's Boost or YouTube Revanced at fault but got the following error when I tried to open a Lemmy link to a video: https://postimg.cc/q6sW77x0
Also, the sign-up journey is a bit confused. Clicking sign up takes me to joinlemmy, which then just lands me on a home page for whichever instance I click. Might be more user friendly to prompt for a choice of instance and take them directly to that instance's sign up page. And maybe have a button for "not sure? Explore here" or something similar that would take you to joinlemmy
Being taken to the instance that just selected makes pretty firm logical sense to me, personally. Is the sign up process/path uniform across all instances?
The few I checked were, but not sure if the path is defined as part of the Lemmy protocol.
Should old boost users who have paid for boost for reddit, get the premium by default??
No and I say this as someone who had premium.
They're two different apps. This isn't as easy as copy and pasting all the code. There's a reason it took a couple months to release this app. All that new work.
What you're asking for would be like saying to Toyota you deserve their new model for free because you bought the 2016 version.
+1 This shouldn't even be something people need to ask.
But I'm assuming that this is the first version so maybe the dev will make it happen in an upcoming update
